for com mi Miii;: burglary in the borne
ol" Mortimer L, Sehifiv and whose plea
for commutation was denied by Gover
nor Wix. was given definite form today
bv the institution of throe legal actions
in his behalf. "
The real, sensation among the ,day,s

lice Lieutenant Joseph B. , Woolridge,
who arrested Brandt, that much '." crim

the voting valet had -no .foundation in
fact.
Writ Is Issued.
Supreme Court Justice Gerard this af
ternoon issued -a writ' of habeas corpus
for tho prisoner's, appearance before
him next Tuesday morning on the
ground that he is illegally detained and
ah the same time- -District -Attorney.
Whitman, as a result of tho-revelations
made by Wooldridge, ordered that 011
Tuesday tho gran' jury begin an in
vestigation, to ascertain if Brandt was
not sent to prison-as the result' of a
conspiracy.
Tu addition to theac two actions, IMar
tin F. Jluborth, a wealthy real estate
dealer, who is acquainted with neither
Brandt nor Schiff, but is actuated sole
ly by a wish to see justice done, served
notice on District Attorney Whitman
that ho will apply to Judge Jtosalaky,
who sentenced Brandt," for an order
quashing niiuscltiiig aside the commit
ment of Brandt to prison on the
ground that, the court acted on misin
formation in pronouncing the judgment.
Confronted With Record.
Wuoldridgc was closeted with Mr.
Whitman two hours. He was confront
ed with Brandt's "criminal record," of
which ho was the author, and was
shown affidavits from practically every
person cited as Brandt's victims in
which it wns cither denied that the
alleged victim had ever known Brandt
or that he ever committed any such
crime.
Immediately after the conference Mr.
AVhitmau sent his order to the grand
jury. It was said that "Wooldridgo had
confessed, to tho falsity of the report
and made a clcau breast of -tho entire
affair. An effort will bo made to have
Wooldridgo summoned before Judge
JiosnlsUv in the Brandt proceedings and
tell hie story in open court. ,

The visit of Viscount Tlaldanc Is larce

sentencing him to jail on the e- e of
Christmas, 100S. despite the fact that he
had liis grip packed with Christmas
presents for his little ones and was then
on his way home to deliver them.
Following- Mitchell's remarkable state
ment. Samuel Gompers, president of. the
American Federation of Labor, took the
witness stand and brought the dramatic
features of the court hearing to a cli
max when he characterised as an insult
the suggestion of the comniUteo of
prosecutors that he apolosize to the
court for bis alleged contempt.
"I considered the laneuapc of the sus
ecstion of the committee insulting when
1 had been guilty of no wronpr." said
President Gompers sharply. "Jf I had
been suilly of wronging- any man or
woman, or the merest child on curth, I

When !Ur. Gompers was asked ' If his

"I have none other to make."

nesses in their own defense, attempting;
to show that they were not guilty of
contempt in their alleged activity in en
couraging a. boycott of the Bucks Stoe
& Range company of St. Louis, con
trary to an order of tho court.
In criticising- Justice Wright, Vice Pres
ident .Mitchell made an extended state

der some service to his country: that he
had been commended by more than one
president of the United States; that he
felt he occupied no Inconspicuous posi

that he saw no reason why the court
should have made an effort to drag him
away from his children at Christmas

NEW VOItK, Feb. 9. There will be
no sort of trouble over tlie settlement of
the immense estate left by- Edwin Hnw

was developed today a, a conference be
tween representatives of tho common
law heirs of the dead millionaire, who
died suddenly and Intestate a. week ago.
It also wns developed that the will

dead magnate said today, that ,it was
rational to assume that lie had amply
provided for her before he made .the 1MU
will. She was a guest today' at the
Ilawlcy city mansion, but refused lo see
reporters.

husband's brother, who is ono of iir
three administrators of the estate, had

Hip family denied positively the report
that Hawlcy and Mlas Cameron I were
preparing- to marry when tho railroad
manipulator suddenly ,was stricken with
fatal Illness.
Trust Agreement.
At the pussoatleu of counsel for the
administrators of tha estate, the heirs
